Taiwan group guilty of 90 per cent of Microsoft piracy
Microsoft claims that a small group led by a recently jailed Taiwanese man
was the source of almost all high quality pirated copies of its software up
until his arrest in 2004.
The claim suggests that Microsoft practically wiped out commercial piracy of
its products with the arrest of Huang Jer-sheng, the owner of Taiwan-based
software distributor Maximus Technology.
Microsoft announced today that Huang and his associates were responsible for
the "production and distribution of more than 90 per cent of the
high-quality counterfeit Microsoft software products either seized by law
enforcement or test-purchased around the world".

"The finished products with their professionally made packaging, laser
labels, warranty cards and instruction manuals made them impossible for
consumers to question their authenticity."
